boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. Hope everyone
is having a great day today, looking forward to enjoying the spring and summer's
coming up. Schools out, summer's coming. We want the kids to have
fun. We want the parents to have fun. You know, a lot
of people forget about the fun part of life. My parents always you know,
work sleep, work, sleep, work, sleep. We gotta have
fun. There's twenty four hours in a day. Eight hours is work.
You have to work. Life is not easy. Eight hours of sleep you
have to rest and relax. And eight hours is fun. You have to
enjoy life. How do people forget about that? It's why there are a
lot of depression, a lot of anxiety. Get have fun, you get
have experiences, kind of hang out with family and friends. Super important to
have fun in your life. That's a key to your health. It's a
key to keeping your brain strong. You know, grandparents who hang out with
little kids, they're grandkids. They live longer, they live, have healthier
life because they're having fun with their grandkids. The worst thing is just sitting
at home watching TV. You know, you work all day, come home,
eat a big dinner, and then sit and watch TV and then sleep
and then wake up, eat breakfast, go to work, eat dinner,
watch TV, go to bed. There's no fun there, right, You
gotta get out of the house. You gotta experience life. Right. We
don't want stress. We want relaxation, we want calm, We want to
smile, We want laughter. And that keeps your brain strong. That keeps
your brain healthy, and it's experiences with other people. It's experiences in life.
It's visiting new places, learning new things, doing new activities that will
keep your brain, your heart, everything Healthy'll not enjoying your quality of life.
Right. To enjoy your quality of life, you know, you've got
to really work on a lot of aspects of your life. Your heart health
is super important. You know we always talk about brain health, but your
heart health is super important. And your heart improves when you're with other people
and you're doing experiences and you're having fun. The exercise really helps your heart.
You got to do all types of exercise. You gotta do exercise that
gets your heart beating fast. You got to do exercise that gets you sweating.
You gotta do muscle weight resistant exercise or body resistant exercise or calisthenics.
I gotta do aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise. One's oxygen ones without oxygen.
You gotta real work your heart. You use it or you lose it.
The heart is a muscle. I really like the hit exercises, high intensity
interval training, so where you really go hard and then you just go a
little bit, and then you go hard and then you go a little bit.
So it's interval. It's on and off. You go really hard and
then there's a little break time, and there's hard and a little break time.
There's lots of sign it's behind that works. Orange Theory is one of
the best places that uses that science to maximize your potential. They measure your
heart rate and you gotta get in that orange zone. You gotta push it
a little bit. You gotta be uncomfortable. As they said, same thing
with your brain. You gotta push it. You gotta be uncomfortable. Challenge
your brain. When you don't know something, don't always google it. Try
and remember it, Try and think of it, Try and work it out
on your own. Might take a little extra time, but your brain will
get stronger. Don't always rely on the Internet to solve all your problems.
It's a new condition called digital dementa. So because everyone's using all these smartphones,
smart computers, smart TVs, smart iPads, all these smart devices that
do everything for you, and guess what, your brain get stupider digital dementia.
The more electronics you use, the worse your brain gets. And it's
not just the Wi Fi. You know, people are on Wi Fi to
have these devices attached to them twenty four to seven. It's not just the
Wi Fi, but it's that you're letting the electronics do everything. It's your
map, it's your dictionary, it's your encyclopedia, it's your calculator, it's
your phone book, it's your GPS, it's everything, and you don't use
your brain because everything can be just looked up with that phone or iPad.
And it's creating digital dementia. It's creating heart problems because people can just sit
on their butt, sedentary lifestyle and if everything come to them, they can
order anything from that phone. They can order food, they can order a
car, they can you know, get Amazon, you can get anything you
want. You don't even have to get off the couch. Everything comes to
you. But it makes your heart bad and it makes your brain bad.
You got to challenge the brain. You gotta challenge the heart. I don't
want digital dementia. I don't want heart disease. I don't want stroke.
I don't want diabetes or cant or obesity. So I got to do different
than everyone else does, because that is the common, that's the norm in
America. You don't want to be just like everybody else. You want to
be better. You want to be healthier than everybody else. You know,
you always surround yourself with people you want to be like. You know,
if you want to be healthy, you hang around healthy people. If you
hang around people who are unhealthy, you're going to become unhealthy. You want
to be poor, hang around poor people. If you want to be rich,
hang around rich people. You want to be dumb, hang around dumb
people. You want to be smart, you hang around smart people. You're
going to become who you surround yourself with. So I want to surround myself
with healthy people, smart people, rich people, loving people, spiritual people,
people who love nature, people who love to give to others, people
who want clean air and clean water and clean food. That's my crowd,
all right, So that's you give me a call, let's hang out,
let's do it. But you gotta be healthy, right. We gotta challenge
your brain, we gotta challenge your heart. You gotta challenge your muscles.
You're about weight resistant exercise, and you don't need, necessarily, you know,
to buy weights. You can do push ups and pull ups and squats
and lunges and flanks and sit ups and all that stuff. Or you can
get easy stuff like bands or a TRX, or you can you know,
yeah, you can get rates as well. You can do a gym membership.
But you gotta do weight resistance. That's the key. It's gonna keep
your bones strong, it's gonna keep your muscles strong, it's gonna keep your
brain strong, it's gonna keep your heart strong. You know, if you
could do forty pushups, you're less likely to get a heart attack than someone
who cannot do ten pushups. It's that significant. You've got to start working
on your muscles, and it's a mood stabilizer. You have depression and anxiety,
you start doing weight resistant exercises, you will release chemicals that no drug
can ever give you. You have a walking pharmacy in your muscles, but
you gotta use them. You use it or you'll lose it. All the
healing powers are within your own body. All the nutrition you need is from
the earth. You don't need any pills, you don't need to see all
these doctors. You just need to know how to improve your health and well
being. And that's what I like to teach you guys every week, because
it's all up to you. You gotta take responsibility. You know, there's
always going to be a problem in the environment, right and you know we
just had up here in the Northeast these Canadian wildfires, right, so it's
like this is getting in my lungs. This is a lot of pollution right
in Westchester and Indian That nuclear power plant they're leaking on purpose. They're putting
nuclear waste in the Hudson River. I mean, they pollute our air,
they pollute our water, Monsanto or bayar, They pollute our food with all
these chemicals. Gliphosate round up causes cancer. These companies are causing disease.
Big corporations, and because they are highly influential on the politicians that run the
world. Nothing really gets done unfortunately, you know when you always asks how
come they let you know, these people put nuclear waste, you know,
in the Hudson River. You know, it's always come back to money,
all right, But we can't, unfortunately, do anything about that now.
So you've got to prevent all the toxins that you're aware of. Right,
they're gonna sprain stuff in the air, they're spraining stuff on your food,
They're putting stuff in your water. But you got to control, you control,
Get a water filter, get an air purifier. Clean your food.
It's very easy to clean your food when you just when you get back from
the supermarket. You just put take a big bowl, put your fruit veggies
in there, put some baking soda in there, let it soak for an
you know whatever it is, a half hour, an hour, and then
literally all the toxins come out. It's pretty amazing. It's disgusting when you
take out your fruit and then you see what's left over in the bowl.
But that's a quick, easy, cheap way to clean all your fruit and
veggies and all your produce that you bring back from the supermarket. That's sprayed
with round Up, which is glyphosate, pesticides, herbicides that caused information gut
problems, allergies, autoimmune disease, and worst of all, cancer. Do
not use glyphosate and round up, start buying organic and don't use that stuff
on your lawn. It's toxic and it literally can kill you. More when
we come back from the break. If you want to improve your brain function,
help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion, energy depression, anxiety,
dizziness, balance, vision, headaches, brain fog, weight loss,
or simply want to maximize your human potential and prevent future diseases, that this
is the show for you. Don't misboost your brain power with doctor Eric Kaplan
and you will learn natural, integrative, and holistic approaches to modern day medical
problems such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's stroke, autism, add concussion, autoimmune diseases,
insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines, for posture, pain, TBI,
skin and digestive problems. Doctor Kaplan is most famous for getting to the
root cause of a wide variety of brain and health conditions, rather than treating
symptoms with traditional medicines and risky surgeries. To contact doctor Kaplan. You can
call his team at two O one two six one two one five zero or
visit his website at kaplan dc dot com. Welcome back, you boost your
brain power. I am your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. We're talking about
how to improve your brain function, how to improve your heart Exercise is super
important. I was recommending HIT high intensity interval training. You go really hard,
and then you chill out for a little bit, and then you go
really hard and then you chill out really hard, chill out. So I
think about it like this. You could if you're on a track, you
know, when you go to the local high school, you will sprint where
the track is straight, and then during the curve you'll walk. And then
once you get to the end of the curve and it becomes straight again,
and you sprint and then you walk the curve and then you sprint and then
you walk the curve. That's a very simple way of kind of doing these
type of exercises. We really push it and then you give yourself a little
break there. All right, So we got to exercise, and you could
do that, you know, if you just did you know, two walks
around a track. It's a half a mile you know, if you did
it like I'm describing, it would literally take less than five minutes. All
right, everybody has five minutes in their day. If you did that every
single day, for just five minutes, you will change your life. Sprint
walk, sprint walk, sprint walk, sprint walk, that's all you gotta
do. That will change your life. It'll make your brain stronger, It'll
make your heart stronger, your digestive system, your sleep, your energy,
your skin, your hormones. Every day, do it outside. We want
to use that sun. The sun is your friend. You're gonna hear all
these doctors tell you that the sun is your enemy. They're gonna say stay
out of the sun. They're gonna say protect your body from the sun.
The sun is evil. It's causing global warming, and it's heating up everything.
We got to stop the sun. That's completely incorrect. Don't listen to
everybody else. The sun will heal you. The sun is everything to this
earth. Without the sun, everything would die. I don't want to die.
I don't want myself to die. I like the sun. We want
to be out in the sun as much as possible. Now, if you
have a history of skin cancer, that's completely different. You have to be
careful. You have to protect yourself. And when you do protect yourself,
you protect yourself with zinc oxide. That's the same the safest ingredient for sun
protection. Of those sun lotions, sunblock, those are toxic. The most
toxic products you could put on your body. If I had to choose one
product that is most toxic that people put on their body, it is suntan
lotion and sunblock. It is full of the worst chemicals you could imagine.
And we're voluntarily putting on our bodies and our kids bodies and our kid's brains
are developing, So you'd be very careful. You know, you might read
the ingredients of the food that you eat, but if you're reading the ingredients
of what you're putting on your children and yourself every single day, the least
amount of stuff you put on your body, the better. I don't use
anything for my body. I literally use nothing except olive oil soap. That's
it. And I don't even use that on my face. I literally just
use it on my body. My face is just water, that's it.
I do not use anything. I don't use any lotions, I don't use
any creams. I don't use you know, any makeup. I don't use
any moisturizers, moisturizers, I don't use anything for allergies. For X amount
of nothing up and nothing on my skin. That's the best way to do
it. That keeps you healthy. The only thing you need to do to
keep your skin is healthy is drink lots of water, and exercise and nutrition
and oxygen and rest and decrease stress. Those are the big ones, right,
that's the best thing for skin. Everyone's alway to ask me, Oh,
how can I prevent wrinkles and keep my skin strong? That was the
list I just gave you, all right. So as far as the sunlight,
right, So the sun is our friend. We're gonna use it for
circadian rhythms, we're gonna use it for sleep. So the best way we
can use the sun for sleep is to walk outside every day on sunrise and
sunset. Take those five minutes, even when you're gonna do your hit exercise
sprint walk, sprint walk, sprint walk, sprint walk. You do it
four times, like I said, should take less than five minutes, but
you do it during sunrise and sunset. When you wake up in the morning
after dinner, that's the best time to do it. And your brain says,
Okay, the sun is rising. I'm going to increase corsol testosterone.
I'm gonna give you your energy. I'm gonna keep your brain strong. I'm
gonna give your sculation and your blood flow. That's your first time. Second
time sun set. After dinner, don't go to the couch and watch TV.
Go outside for a walk, go with your family or a walk,
take the dog for a walk. That's the best thing you could do.
Have a small dinner. You want to eat from ten am to six pm,
so by six pm you should be done with dinner. A small dinner
because we don't need a lot of energy, just to chill out and relax
because it's becoming ninetime. Then you go out for a walk during sun set,
and your brain says, okay, the sun's going down. Now I
can increase melatonin, which is going to relax me. That's going to decrease
cortisol. It's going to interrupt my deep sleep. So when the brain sees
the sun go down, it's going to do increase cordosol. Okay, don't
come home and listen to the news. After your walk, then Cortisol is
going to go up, because what are the news going to tell you.
There's a war in Russia, there is superinflation, there's political corruption, there's
racism, there's wildfires, there's tornadoes and earthquakes, and there's hurricanes and monsoons
and tsunamis, and you know it's the index is bad and the sun's killing
us and the pollutions killing us, and everything's bad, bad, doom and
gloom. What they want you They want to get their ratings high. They
want to keep you on that television in fear. They want you thinking we
need the government to help us survive, that we need to be informed of
all the stuff they're telling us. No, you can be informed. If
you're listening to the news, you're not informed because they're telling you what they
want you to know. I'm telling you the truth. Let's get healthy,
That's what they don't want you to know. Did they ever teach you how
to get healthy? Nope? Because you know why, who's paying for the
advertising during the news. The pharmaceutical companies. They're paying for the advertising.
So they don't want the healthy stuff out there, because if there's a country
of very healthy people, they're not going to be buying all these pharmaceuticals.
What this show is teaching you is how to prevent health problems. So you
don't need to take so many medications, you don't need to do so many
surgeries, you don't need to see so many doctors. You don't need to
go to the hospital so many times. It is not necessary. But you
have to work for it. Your health is a full time job. So
a lot of my patients they want to get healthy, but they're not willing
to do what they need to do. You know, I might have to
change their diet, so it is so many of my patients are full of
inflammation, but they're not willing to change their lifestyle. And if you don't
change your lifestyle, you're never going to get better. And the lifestyle is
not just eating healthy and exercising, it's the emotional stress too. You know,
maybe you should not be in the job you're at because you know their
co workers or your boss are really mean. Or maybe you should be in
a different living situation because your roommate is stressing you out, or maybe you
have to move out from your parents place, or maybe you have to get
a divorce, or maybe you have to break up with a family member or
a friend, or maybe you have to move out of a stressful city and
move to the burbs or a nice little place on the beach or a little
farmland, or you know, sometimes you have to make major life changes.
And then sometimes you just gotta wake up a half hour earlier, do some
exercise, and do some gratitude journal. You know, sometimes it's pretty easy
just to make small changes, but other times you might have to make big
changes. If you eat a lot of crappy food and you're always getting fast
food and drinking beer and smoking cigarettes, yeah you're gonna have to change your
lifestyle to feel better, because your quality of life depends on how you're functioning.
Right, So a lot of people say, oh, I only live
once. I want to enjoy my life. That's right. You only want
to live once. You want to enjoy your life. And the only way
you can enjoy your life is if you're healthy. You cannot enjoy your life
if you're unhealthy. All right, You can only enjoy your life if you're
healthy. So your health should always be your number one priority. All the
money you spend should be on your health, not on materials. Nobody is
going to remember material on their deathbed. But they're going to remember their health,
and they're gonna remember their experiences they've had with people. They're not going
to remember what Netflix show they watched on that Saturday for twelve hours straight.
You're gonna remember experiences with people. You're going to have only regrets about your
health that you should have been healthier, so you didn't let your health deteriorate.
You didn't let your relationships deteriorate. Okay, So focus now on your
health and your relationships and having fun so you don't have regrets as you get
older. Okay, your mental health is the most important thing your physical health.
Is this that the most important thing? Your mental health will create your
physical health. I always tell my patients you got to appreciate your health.
Every morning you just wake up and you say, if this is you,
thank God. I could see, I can hear, I can walk,
I can drive and listen to music. I can see a sunset, I
could walk my dog, the little things that we take for granted. My
heart is beating, I have bowel movements, I can urinate, I can
sleep, I can lift up a bag. You know, if you spent
one week in my office you would see these patients that come to me and
they can't do those things that everyday people take for granted, and their only
wish is they could they could stand for five seconds. But guess what when
we grant them that wish and we get them to stand for five seconds,
and then we say, okay, you know what, let's go for ten
seconds, and then we get them to stand for ten seconds, and then
we take one step and then we take two steps. Or if we get
children who can't speak, right first you just get one word. We can
get one word in that first week. That's a big victory, and then
the second week, maybe we'll get two words. And they're told these parents
are told that they're never going to talk again. Well, your grandparents are
told they're never going to walk again because they had a stroke. Your brain
can be rewired whether you're one years old or one hundred years old. Obviously
it's much easier the younger the brain because it's developing. But I don't care.
If you're one hundred years old, your brain can improve and you'll find
out more when we come back from the break. Don't miss boost your brain
power with doctor Eric Kaplan every Saturday from two pm to three pm to learn
the secrets of how to optimize your brain function. You can improve memory,
focus, energy, sleep, digestion, mood, skin, metabolism, and

dot com for more information. Welcome back to boost your brain power. I'm
your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. All right, so we're talking about the
sun and the best ways to use your son to the advantage. And what
we want to do is walk outside during sunrise and sunset. That's going to
help your circadian rhythms. Now, what's the most important thing about the sun
is vitamin D. So we have to get our vitamin D. Almost every
single patient that I've ever tasked it in work and you as low vitamin D
unless they actually are supplemented. So the best time to get the vitamin is
when the sun is strongest. That's during the middle of day, you know,
let's say twelve to two, and what you gotta do. You know,
it's usually people and you go outside, even if it's just for fifteen
twenty minutes. Let's take off your hat, take off your glasses, roll
up your sleeves, roll up your pant legs, take off your socks,
like, get the most exposure ball and you get exclosed to the sunlight so
we can absorb vitamin D and that will make it your highest level every day.
So those are three most important times are sunrise, sunset, and then
lunchtime. With your sun exposed the morning and evening, you just want to
see it, so you got to get your eye exposed there so you might
take off your glasses, so that is the most important thing. You gotta
get your eyes exposed to the sun as well. So if you're always wearing
glasses, especially sunglasses, you're not going to get that proper eye exposure.
The eyes are very important. One of the biggest wishes my patients, you
know, request from me or improve their vision, and you can improve your
vision, but you have to do eye exercises. You got to get sun
into that eyes. And I would saying, look directly at this sun,
but look towards the area where the sun is. And obviously the you know
earlier in the day, the weaker it is, so you're able to get
a little bit closer. But you know, you want to actually take off
your glasses and get some of those sun rays to hit your eyes. You
also have to do eye exercises. You have to do stuff looking near,
but also stuff looking far. Everyone forgets looking far these days, so I
go at the twenty rule every twenty minutes. Let's say you're working out the
computer. You get up for twenty seconds, you walk twenty feet and you
look twenty feet away. All right, so the computer is about twenty inches
away. You're gonna look twenty feet away. You know the TV isn't that
close. We got to look outside. Go outside and look at the tree
in your backyard, look very far away. Exercise those eye muscles. You
look different distances. Look at something that's close, and then look at something
that's medium, then look at something that's far. Exercise use those eye muscles.
Your eyes have all these different muscles, muscles that move it up and
down and left and right, and muscles that can strict your eyes and dilate
them, that bring them together and pull them apart. But we got to
use them. You're always just looking at a computer or your cell phone.
You're not using your eyes. You're not using any depth perception. And your
eyes are gonna get weaker and weaker and weaker. You're going to strengthen them,
and the sun gives the eye the energy it needs. Remember, if
you have a history of skin cancer, this is different. You're gonna be
very careful. You're gonna use zinc oxide to protect you, but never use
those you know, one of the banana boat and you know all these crappy
ones you'll find in CBS and rite Aid and you know all the supermarkets.
Don't buy any of those suntann lotion. Don't put it on yourself, don't
put it on your kids. That can actually erase permanent marker. That's how
toxic is. You know, you gotta actually be very very careful. We
got to reduce all the chemicals you put on your body. All those lotions,
most of those moisturizers, they're full of alcohol and that's going to dry
out your skin. So you're taking these moisturizer, which feels good after you
put it on, but the ingredients are alcohol, so it's going to draw
you out. So you keep buying the moisturizer are over and over and over
and over again, right, So that is you know, very dangerous.
You know, you're just gonna, you know, keep putting alcohol and your
skin you gonna get worse and worse and worse and worse. All right,
Now, what other chemicals we've got to watch out for, you know,
not just cleaning stuff, right, all the bleaches and laundry detergents and you
know, all the dishwasher detergents and all the cleaning chemicals, and you know,
all the lightsols and all the and that bacterial stuff and tons and tons
of chemicals there. And that's not in beauty products and makeups and hair dyes
and nail polishes and you know, and that's not even included plastics and lead
and aluminum and storage and you know, there's so many toxic chemicals that we're
exposed to in addition to the stuff they're already putting in the air and the
water. You know they actually put fluoride in the water, which is a
neurotoxin. So you got to be very careful with all these chemicals that we're
exposed to the sun. Everything is natural, right. We want to get
sunlight. We want to get water. Supposed to drink half your body weight
and ounces of water. So if you weigh one hundred and fifty pounds,
you need seventy five ounces of water. Get a pinch a pink hamalaan salt
to give you your electrolytes. Get all that stuff everything you need, magnesium
and phosphorus, all that stuff to sodium. So pinkamalaan and salt. To
the Celtic salt. They have the most minerals. Those are the two highest
mineral content salts. You literally just have to put a pinch of it.
You don't want to get gatorade and power aid and these energy drinks and they're
full of all these bad sugars and chemicals and food dyes, and be very
careful with all that stuff. All you gotta do is water. Squeeze some
lemon in there, pinchamlane salt. You're good to go. That's your electrolyte
water. All right, So we got sunlight, got water oxygen, right,
we need the oxygen. We're gonna get the oxygen from You're gonna get
it from the air. You're gonna go outside, gonna be in nature.
You gotta be in trees. One tree has enough oxygen for five people.
So go out in a walk in the woods. You know that is doing
oxygen therapy. You know we need oxygen. We're gonna do breathing exercise.
The best breathing exercise to maximize your oxygen intake is to inhale for four seconds,
hold it for seven seconds, and exhale for eight seconds. You also
want to do diapromatic breathing, so meaning when you inhale, push your belly
down and out. That way, your lungs can expand more. When you
exhale, everything comes in and squeezes all that carbon dioxide out. And when
you excel for eight seconds, make sure you push out every single breath,
get rid of that carbon dioxide, make room for more oxygen. Work on
your posture. When you do those shoulder rolls, that's going to increase oxygen
intakes. So you look up and roll your shoulders back. Don't roll your
shoulders in. They're already too much in start rolling them back, roll your
shoulders back to open up your lungs so you can get more oxygen. Another
way to get more oxygen and sitting to standing exercise, Sit and stand and
look up and reach up. Sit and stand and look up and reach up,
open up those lengthen your spine. You can get oxygen producing plants,
put it in your house. Snake plants, spider plants, alo vera plants,
money plants. Those all have the most oxygen producing plants. And then
you give them the carbon dioxide. All right, So want to maximize our
oxygen intake. When you start exercising at increases oxygen. Do those hit exercises,
sprint walk, sprint walk, sprint walk, sprint walk five minutes,
that's it. Every day will change your life. Increase your heart, increase
your oxygen, increase your brain function. Right, So now we're talked about
sunlight, talked about water, we talked about oxygen. Right, what else
can we do to boost our brain power? Right? We have to challenge
our brain. That is the key. You have to do new things,
things you've never done. That is by far the most important thing. That's
why I'm saying life is experiences. Start going to new places, visiting new
areas, doing new activities, meeting new people, signing up for new events,
taking new classes, learning new instruments, new dances, learn new hobbies.
How to sew to you know, do pottery, how to paint,
how to sing, how do collect stamps? Anything you want, but do
something new that's challenging to your brain. Your brain is like a muscle.
You use it or you're lose it. Your heart is a muscle. You
use it or you're lose it. Your muscles need to be worked, but
so does your brain. So does your hearts. As your gut, we
need to challenge your lungs. We need to work on every aspect of your
health to function better, feel better, and live a better life more when
we come back from the break. If you want to improve your brain function,
help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion, energy, depression,

power. I am your host, Doctor Eric Caplin. All right, so
we're just talking about challenging your brain and doing new things. The brain is
like a muscle. You use it or you lose it. But how do
you know which parts of the brain you need to use? Well, the
best thing to do is to do a complete neurological evaluation. The best test
is called a q EG brain mapping and that analyzes all the different areas of
the brain to tell you where your weak areas are. Then you know exactly
which exercises or therapies you would need to be specific to strengthen your weaknesses.
Now, there's a lot of general stuff you could do to boost your brain
power, such as all this stuff we discussed today, sunlight, water,
oxygen, doing new exercises, reducing emotional stress, avoiding all the chemicals,
all that stuff we're talking about today. Those are general stuff everyone needs to
do to improve your brain function. But if you really want to maximize your
potential, you have to be specific. So you have to figure out where
your weaknesses are and where are they coming from. So this qEEG brain mapping
is a test where you wear this cap. It looks like a swimmer's cap,
but it's got electrodes attached to it that measures all your brain waves.
It's non invasive, there's no radiation, there's no contrast fluid. You don't
have to sit in a small claustrophobic tube for forty five minutes without moving.
It's very easy. It only takes about ten fifteen minutes to do. But
it measures out all your brain waves and it tells us do you have depression,
you have anxiety to your brain fog, troubles with focus, motivation,
organization, difficulty shifting tasks, trouble with memory, short term memory, sequential
memory. It tells us do you have insomnia, sleep deprivation. It tells
us do you have anger or aggression? Do you have sensory problems? Do
you have issues with a concussion or heavy metal or certain viruses, or do
you have a white matter inflammation? How's your dopamine levels, how's your receital
coaling? Is their cortisol levels too high? So it tells us about all
your brain function, and it says these are the weak areas, and then
we come up with a solution and get to the root cause of the problem
rather than just give you, you know, medications or supplements or herbs.
It's like, no, let's figure out exactly where the problem is and be
specific fick so that you can maximize your potential because you're only as strong as
your weakest length. This QEG brain mapping is normally five hundred dollars, but
we're going to do special for the first seven people that call, text or
email. You can get the entire test for only twenty one dollars. That's
right. It's normally five hundred dollars, and you can get the test for
only twenty one dollars. Call or text six four six two two one six
seven, three eight, or you can email info at Kaplan brain embody dot
com. That's for a q EG brain mapping. The second best task is
called a VNG video instography. This is basically a test where you wear goggles.
These goggles have infrared cameras that measure all your eye movements and fast eye
movement, slow movements, eyes up and down and how it shines to light
and with a head turn and all this stuff. And by doing that we
can analyze the left side of the brain versus the right side of brain.
Is one side going too fast? Is one side going too slow? Are
you in stress mode as your brain to relax? Is it underactive? Is
it overactive? So it's very descriptive. The brain mapping is great for the
location, but the VNG is really good to be really specific as far as
okay, here are the problems. But is it more on the right side,
is that the left side? Is it more overactive? Is it more
underactive? We do have to stimulate, do we have to relax, Do
we have to connect, do we have to improve? Do we have to
balance? So it tells us how everything's connecting between the different lobes and the
different sides. That's why I really like that test. That test is also
normally five hundred dollars, but for the first seven people that call, text
or email you can also get that for twenty one dollars and the number again
six four six to two one six seven three eight, or you can email
info at Kaplan, Brain, embody dot com. Now a third test we're
going to offer, which a lot of the patients like the most is the
one on one with me. And with the one on one with me Doctor
cap On, what we do is go over your blood work, we go
over your history, we go over your health goals. We do all the
typical physical and neurological tests, your reflexes, we look at your oxygen level
as we look at your posture, your balance, your memory, your strength,
your range of motion, listen to your heart and your gut and your
lungs, and we do all this stuff. Takes a long time, about
forty five minutes. Actually, that test is normally five hundred dollars, but
you can sign up that test for only twenty one dollars as well if you're
one of the first seven people to call six four six two two one six
seven three eight or email info at Kaplan brainenbody dot com. If you want
to sign up for all three, you are welcome to sign up for all
three. You could do the one on one with yours truly, Doctor Kaplin.
You could do the v to see overactive, underactive, the right side,
the left side. You could do the brain mapping where you can figure
out the exact location where they have normal brain waves are of each area of
your brain. You can do each of them for only twenty one dollars each,
or you can also add the Boost your Brain Power Seminar series. Those
are two dates Wednesday. They're both Wednesdays, the last Wednesdays of June and
the last Wednesday of July. So it's June twenty eighth and July twenty six
the last Wednesday of each month. It's in River Edge, New Jersey.
This is a live seminar where we're gonna go over how to boost your brain
power, going to do all these brain exercises, how to learn how to
do new things. We're going to summarize everything we just spoke about, all
the nutrition you have to do, all the physical stuff you have to do,

lot of cool people, you learn a lot of new activities to do,
and you boost your brain power. That seminar is normally one hundred dollars each,
and there's two seminars, so it would be two hundred for both of
them. But we're also going to do a special today and if you're one
of the first seven people they call, you get both seminars plus the recordings
that you can have for a lifetime for only forty nine dollars. So instead

If you want to learn more about our offices, you can go to our
website Kaplan DC dot com. We have two functional neurology and functional medicine offices.
One is in Bergen County, New Jersey in Emerson that's by all the
malls up north, and then we also have one in Manhattan in the West
Village six AMMNU and Bleaker where we do all this stuff. We analyze your
brain. We have a lot of different therapies. We have infrared laser,
we have hyperbaric oxygen chamber, narrow feedback. We do functional neurology, neuroplasticity,
We do a lot of neutral rational training. People come to us for
weight loss. People come to us to improve their vision. People come to
us to improve their balance, to get rid of headaches and dizziness. We
see a wide variety of patients. We have kids that come to us for
seizures. We have kids to come to us with autism. We have a
lot of people that see us for troubles will focus add ADH team. One
of the most common patients we see our concussion patients, traumatic brain injury,
and those cover wide varieties. Have you ever had a concussion, even if
it was twenty years ago. Sign up for those tests. That's the most
important thing to do. I have a book called Concussion Discussions. You can
get at concussion discussions dot com. But it's all about how your brain can
be affected years later from when you hit your head. If you've lost consciousness,
it's even worse. But we got to analyze your brain. That's why
you got to sign up for the test, sign up for the lecture,
Learn the exercises, the therapies, the activities you need to do to prevent
dementia, prevent Alzheimer's, prevent park and sense, prevent cans or prevent stroke,
prevent diabetes, ren obesity. Don't wait till you get lime disease and
COVID nineteen and epstein bar virus to start fixing your health prompts. Now,
we help reverse all that stuff, but it's much easier to prevent it.
Most people wait till they get Oh, I have lime disease. Let's do
the hyperbaric oxygen chamber. You know I can't smell from COVID. Let's,
you know, start doing some brain therapy. And that's great. We can
help you guys, But let's get everything so strong that when you do get
exposed to COVID, nothing happens. When you do get bit by a tick,
nothing happens when you do get exposed to a virus, you can beat
it off. When you do you get exposed to chemicals or smoke in the
air, you can handle it. When you do hit your head, you
don't get headaches or dizziness. Your brain and body can handle a lot.
But if it's weak, if it's stressed out, if it's not well rested,
if it has poor nutrition, high stress, sedentary lifestyle, it's not
going to recover. And these little things that most people can handle are going
to take over. Your body is amazing at healing itself, but if we
abuse it too long, it shuts down and all the systems stop working.
Right. So, if you are the person that is ready to put in
the work, that doesn't just want a pill or a surgery, or to
keep seeing doctors and doing all these tests, if you're fed up with your
health, if you want to start taking responsibility, now, it's work.
When you sign up with me, it's work. I don't do the work
for you. I teach you what you need to do. But if you
want to learn and take advantage of all the research that I've done about health
and well being and neurology and doing blood work analysis and fixing leaky gut and
cardiovascular problems, and preventing all these health issues that plague Americans. Heart disease
and cancer and diabetes and obesity. You've got to prevent it. There is
no cure. There'll never be a cure. And if any doctor tells you
they're carrying a disease, they're lying because there is no cure. You have
to heal your body, and then your body will heal yourself. You take
care of your body now, your body will take care of you later.
You keep your immune system strong. When you're exposed to buyers, it fights
it off. You keep your brain strong. When you hit your head,
it can handle it. You eat healthy when you're exposed to bad foods.
Your stomach can eliminate it properly. When you get your breathing exercise, and
when you can hail all that smoke, you can just get rid of it
and detox it. You don't have so many toxins that your liver is overloaded
and inflamed. Okay, it's work, but you could do it all right.
